    Study Notes

    Understanding the Self (UTS 101) - Part 2: Unpacking the Self

    • Learning Objectives: Students will understand the biological concept of the sexual and physical self, how different hormones drive various stages of love, the influence of culture on body image and self-esteem, and the importance of celebrating diversity.

    The Sexual Self

    • Crucial Aspect of Human Development: Sexual self is a critical aspect of human development, shaped by biological and environmental factors.
    • Biological Features: Genitalia (penis in males, vagina in females) are present at birth, differentiating sexes.
    • Secondary Sexual Characteristics: Observable changes in the body during puberty.
    • Hormonal Influence: Physiological changes trigger sexual urges, arousal, and activity.
    • Sexual Activity: Humans engage in sexual activity to satisfy their urges, but the type of activity can vary.
    • Responsible Decision Making: Adolescents must be aware of their sexuality and make informed choices.
    • Biological changes during puberty trigger sexual urges

    The Three Stages of Love (Lust, Attraction, Attachment)

    • Lust: Characterized by the craving for sexual satisfaction, driven by hormones like testosterone and estrogen. The primary objective is sex rather than an emotional connection.
    • Attraction: Adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin are released during this stage. This hormone-driven phase triggers increased energy, heightened anxiety, and a strong focus on the potential mate.
    • Attachment: Oxytocin and vasopressin are key hormones. Physical touch and emotional connection are prioritized over purely sexual urges, leading to feelings of calmness, security, and a desire to protect and nurture the relationship.

    Consequences of Sexual Choices

    • Sexual Intercourse (Copulation): The act of reproductive interaction.
    • Pregnancy: A potential consequence of sexual intercourse, involves a nine-month gestation period and considerable responsibility. Risks to the mother and child's development include potential emotional stress, health risks, or even miscarriage.
    • Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Unprotected sexual intercourse can lead to infections like syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and genital warts. HIV/AIDS is the most serious threat, requiring awareness and preventative measures.

    The Physical Self

    • Impact of Biological and Environmental Factors: The physical self is influenced by genetic factors (heredity), environmental influences, social networks, and cultural expectations.
    • Body Image: The perception a person has of their physical self, which can be influenced by various factors. These factors can be positive and negative, affecting how a person interacts with others and themselves.
    • Body Modification: Physical alteration of the body through practices such as surgery, tattoos, or piercings (e.g. altering physical appearance) can be a coping mechanism for underlying body image issues.
